The two chatted for a few words before General Guo and his son arrived.
Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao, and the two of them turned around and stood up, looking towards the door with smiles on their face.
General Guo and Guo Zhao came in with the same smiles. As soon as they came in, they clasped their fists and greeted everyone. After meeting them one by one, they took the lead in coming to Zhou Man. He said with a smile on his face: "This must be Imperial Physician Zhou. I have long admired your name."
, we have all heard the name of Dr. Zhou’s miracle doctor in the Western Regions.”
Man Bao immediately said that this was an exaggeration and was not worthy of General Guo's praise. After saying this, he praised Guo Zhao behind him, "But General Guo is well-deserved. He is indeed a tiger father but no dog son."
Guo Zhao:...I always feel that I am inexplicably a generation lower.
Not only Guo Zhao, but General Guo also felt this way. Looking at his colleagues who were younger than his son, he always felt a little uncomfortable, so he laughed and ignored the matter, and then turned to greet Mr. Zhuang.
General Guo met Little General Meng last, but unlike Zhou Man and the others, he seemed much closer to General Meng. He even reached out and patted the other person's shoulder vigorously to show his appreciation.
Man Bao's eyes couldn't help but fall on his abdomen, showing sympathy.
General Meng responded to the compliment without changing his expression. As soon as he raised his head and met their gazes, his stomach, which had only felt a slight pain at first, suddenly felt very sore.
General Guo laughed and sat back down in his seat. Then he looked at the young men brought by Zhou Man and asked, "I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and I don't even recognize my cousin from the Liu family. Who is he?"
"
Liu Huan had no choice but to stand up and salute: "General Guo, that's right for you."
"What's your name, General Guo? You should call me uncle." General Guo laughed loudly, patted the couch next to him, and said with a smile: "Come on, our uncle and nephew have not seen each other for many years. I never expected that we would be in a place like the Western Regions."
If you see me, come over to your uncle and let us talk to each other affectionately."
Man Bao and others opened their eyes wide, and Liu Huan also looked like he had been struck by lightning. How should he handle this?
In the silence, Mr. Zhuang secretly glared at the children to bring them back to their senses. Then he raised his head and said to General Guo with a smile: "It makes General Guo laugh. This child is young and innocent. It is unavoidable to be a little excited and unbecoming when meeting the general for the first time.
How dare I let him sit next to the general with him like this? Liu Huan, why don't you quickly accuse the general?"
Liu Huan came to his senses and immediately bent down to confess.
General Guo then looked at Mr. Zhuang and said amusedly: "Hey, Mr. Zhuang, a grandson who walks in Honglu Temple and can also control prime ministers?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is also known as the "Ji Xiang", which is really a good name, but for some reason, it has a sense of irony when it comes out of General Guo's mouth.
Mr. Zhuang's expression remained unchanged, and he explained with a smile: "Thanks to Liu Shangshu for not giving up, I have been Liu Huan's husband for a few days. I will take him with me when I go out this time. I just want to take him out and gain experience."
Master and father, with Mr. Zhuang's status, he can really be Liu Huan's master. Even in the eyes of the world who don't know the depth of their relationship, he is more legitimate than General Guo, his cousin.
As expected, General Guo laughed it off and no longer bothered about this. Guo Zhao also rescued him in time, "Father, it's time to have a banquet."
General Guo then smiled and asked the steward to serve food and wine, and of course, beauties too!
Rows of beautiful maids filed in carrying drinks and dishes. Their postures were graceful and every move was as beautiful as a dance. Manbao and the others were once again stunned.
Man Bao, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who thought they had seen enough in the palace, once again felt that they were country bumpkins and had not seen enough.
Even Yin You and Liu Huan took notice.
Zhou Liru, on the other hand, looked up at them and then stared at their clothes. He thought their clothes were so beautiful.
She felt that she had little experience, so this kind of thing should be normal. Maybe rich families like to serve people wine and food like this?
Man Bao also recovered from their graceful movements and stared at the wine poured into her glass. The wine was clear and smelled very fragrant, but no matter how fragrant it was, it could not hide the fact that it was white wine.
And it should be made from Zhongyuan, and it smelled a little familiar, so judging from her experience, it must be very bitter, and she didn't want to drink it.
Bai Shan didn't like drinking either. He always felt that drinkers smelled bad, so he didn't move. He planned to drink it when he needed to toast.
Looking at the food and wine on the table, the friends couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, they had a good meal in the afternoon and it lasted long enough. They were not hungry now. Otherwise, they would have eaten just this when they came to the banquet hungry.
That's too bad.
But the other guests didn’t think so. After one person took a sip of wine, he praised: “This is a bar in Yicheng? What a good drink.”
General Guo smiled proudly and said: "Yes, it is Yicheng's wine. This is my collection. If there were no distinguished guests coming today, I would not be willing to take it out. Come, Mr. Zhou, cousin, I will toast you a drink."
, we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, we are all destined."
Man Bao and Liu Huan raised their glasses and said they didn't dare. When they saw him raising his head and drinking the wine, they could only finish the glass.
Then they had to offer another glass of wine to General Guo.
Okay, I'm done with just two cups.
Nie Canjun, who was sitting behind them, was drinking with gusto. He couldn't help but communicate with Wei Xingren, "This is the best Yicheng wine, which is rare even in the capital. I didn't expect it to be available so far away from Gaochang."
shouted."
Wei Xingren saw that the generals on the side didn't seem happy, so he reminded Nie Canjun in a low voice, "Nie Canjun, our name is no longer Gaochang, but Xizhou."
Nie Canjun also caught a glimpse of the cold face of the person next to him. He sneered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "That's right, it's Xizhou."
Mr. Zhuang, who was sitting in front of them, felt something in his heart and looked down at the wine in his glass.
"Just eating and drinking is boring, let them come up and dance."
As soon as Man Bao and the others looked up, they saw another group of beautiful little girls filing in from the outside with charming smiles. Then the music started, and they started to dance along with the music. When someone spun in front of them, they even flirted with Bai Shan.
Eyes, I can’t help it, who makes him the most handsome?
Bai Erlang and Liu Huan also received a lot of flirtatious looks, and even Man Bao received two, but Yin Or received none.
After counting carefully, Man Bao felt very strange, "Why is no one seducing Yin He?"
Bai Shan:……
Yin He on the side:......
Bai Shan turned to look at Yin You, and finally laughed out loud, "Maybe because he is paler than them?"
Everyone just stared at him.
Yin You glanced at them and ignored them.
General Guo had been in touch with several people. After drinking a bottle of wine, he turned around and saw them whispering. He also looked at the dancers in the lobby from time to time. He was even more happy, "Why, my nephews like it? Simple, come on."
